Finally visible!

A close-up of the the picture above reveals the center of the winged Heart to be velvet, the black to be leather and the Red Velvet Car to be stitching.

Ann Wilson

The Wilson sisters latest incarnation of Heart, when it comes to sound and style, is hard to separate from the Heart in most people’s past memories. The only difference is that time has added a few decades to their age, and if anything their sound has become a little richer. “Magic Man” brought most of the house to their feet, dancing and many singing to the top of their lungs. “They sound just like when they started out,” said Joe Giordeno 63, from Lodi, CA. Giordeno sat close to the stage and said he thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the concert. The crowd ended the concert with a long, standing ovation –bringing Heart back to stage for an encore of two more songs.

Here´s a flaming part of that new song on the setlist (the opening song on the Dog & Butterfly album).

The camera police were crawling around the place like a hungry flame in the dark but I managed to get this clip. Seriously, they took my friends camera at the door and tagged it, but not mine (because it was hidden). They let people with phones take pictures and that was it, but they were limiting that too. No offense to anyone for breaking the rules but this needed to be posted here. Heart is still SO amazing and awesome LIVE. This is another segment of Cook With Fire with Ann Wilson singing (still in stellar form) as an addendum the other short clips of this on youtube. And Nancy’s rig sounds so HOT too. They really were cooking with it! This show is an incredible example of rock Goddess artistry evolving and in process still. Don’t miss this tour seriously. We took a fun bus in from Salt Lake City to see this.

Artwork of the album BLOWN UP 3 TIMES

Management has just confirmed that the tiny picture on Heart’s MySpace is actually the artwork, at this moment, for the new album “Red Velvet Car”!

possible CD artwork?

Heart has just posted the studio-versions of “Hey You” and “WTF” on their official MySpace! This week only and exclusively!

“Hey You” on MySpace is the album edit. AOL has the radio edit. “Hey You” goes for Hot AC Radio adds June 21st, as does “WTF”. So request it at your local radiostation! The singles are promoted as the “Two sides of Heart”

From Heart’s most recent press-release: Also, Heart today posted two news songs from “Red Velvet Car” at their MySpace page. “WTF” is a driving rocker with an aggressive lyrical message, with Ann Wilson declaring, “The hardest thing you’ll ever learn is what bridge to cross, and what bridge to burn.” The aforementioned “Hey You” manages to find a unique balance between its lyrically pensive tone, and its musically lighthearted complexion. In short, ‘Hey You’ is the perfect summer ballad to remind your special someone that, “You are a one of kind/You are some kind of fine.”

Shirean posted on The Heart Gallery about the upcoming In The Studio with Heart about the 1985 release Heart. This is from the show´s website:

More than ten years passed between first meeting Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart and my  opportunity to do an in-depth interview with them, the first of many subsequent conversations . That initial meeting was backstage after an early Summer 1978 performance in Springfield MA , and even though their 1976 debut Dreamboat Annie had done the nearly impossible feat of breaking the band in America with their first effort , on a tiny Canadian indie label , no less , Heart was the opening band that night . Possibly a sign that this would not long be the case is the fact that I cannot recall who the headliner was , but it must not have mattered much at that time  since we hurried backstage to meet these newest stars and stood in a receiving line for a few minutes with Ann and Nancy . Heart had just released their first album for venerable CBS Records , Little Queen , and there stood the Wilson sisters in the same medieval laced-bodice dresses in which they appear on the album cover and had worn  on stage earlier that evening . Ann was wide-eyed and smiling while Nancy appeared thin , delicate , and demure , but their poise and charm was evident even then .

Over a decade later , as I exited Ann Wilson’s charming (there’s that word again) yellow clapboard house with white trim atop a tree-covered hill in Seattle , a historically significant late 19th Century structure which Ann claims was at one time a brothel , I had thoughts of the myriad of career successes and hurdles that the Wilson sisters had experienced by then . Ann’s quick wit and hearty laughter has certainly grown more keen and incisive over time , while Nancy has clearly become more confident and fully her big sister’s equal in leading Heart , but the gracious charm they both exuded on that first U.S. tour continues to this day .
